that's not gonna happen, Bungie would have to re-code the whole game for Xbox 2, which would wast millions.


All they need to develop a game is the specs

If Bungie knew the specs even a year ago (think E3), they could just work off those, without actually having the console there in their hands

Look at those XNA videos, specifically the one with the french woman, and tell me that the newest screenshot doesn't look like that

First off, Bomboy, cool your jets. It's okay. Easy now.

Secondly, yeah, I think that you guys are a little blinded by how much you're anticipating Halo 2. There are other games coming that will challenge, probably not surpass, but challenge Halo 2. Just like Enigma said above, check out Riddick or Doom 3. Simply amazing.

[color=white]You know.. it is possible that they will release XBOX 2, Xenon, w/ Halo 02, but it's very unlikely. As I've said.. XBOX 2 will come out Holiday 2005. Not Fall 2004, which is when Halo 02 will be released.[/color]

really genius? u ever heard of XNA? it makes converting game data from pc to xbox seamless, and decreases devopment time without taking away from the final products quality, who do any of us know wat bungie has been using to build this game the past 6 months to a year?

guys, looks at the newest screen shot and ask urself "wow this games looks amazing, can the xbox really handle it?" if u ask me, the answer is no... hear me out

ms has some earth shattering announements for e3 and we know that their focus ever since getting destroyed in the console race 3 years ago has been to show sony who's boss by releaseing the next xbox first. what better then to shock the world at the 2004 E3 (a whole year before any of the new consoles are supposed to come out) with the announcement that your releasing your next console in 6 months, a year or more before anyone else! and what better then to launch your new system with the sequel to the game that gave the xbox life at al... HALO 2!!!

boys and girls, look at that screen shot, its better looking then any console or PC game available, do you think that our beloved xbox can handle the sheer girth of all the new features going into HALO 2, and even if it could, would it even have a chance of running smoothly?! ---------------->there are a list of other reasons why i might be right so challenge MY prediction if u dare.<-------------------


They already play Halo 2 at bungie on their Xboxes...

And just because you see the controller S doesn't mean it's the Xbox from now; have you ever really seen the Xbox with the TV on the webcam, for example?


Ummmm lets see, because so far the specs for Xbox 2 says that its not going to be reverse compatible, and I don't know of any other systems that use the S controller, plus in one of the updates he was talking how they had one of those display things you see in stroes where you can try out games, in their hallway so hmmmm.

why would bungie spend 3 years making a game that would be on a system that will die in a year?! and what could possibly sell the new xbox better then a new halo? they cant exist without eachother

It's hard huh derek? I told you

Let's just wait a week and see who's the fool; if you (and me really) are proven wrong, then it's our bad

If not, well, let's start saving our money now

Not shooting down your theory, but it seems like the current Xbox is just hitting its stride. It takes game studios time to push a console to its potential, and I'm sure the current box has plenty of life left in her. Another thing to consider is those screen shots were likely taken from a high-end video display to ensure the best looking shot possible.

But if you're right, then MS would have to make the announcement this week at E3 right?

I just have to say it. Derek, you're a moron. Bungie said that Halo 2 WILL launch on Xbox and it WILL. Bungie would lose all of their fans if it released on Xbox 2. You would have to buy another system for the game that you've already pre-oredered on Xbox. This theory is retarded.

[color=white]I agree with you on some points there, derekw, but they need that edge over Sony more than anything. It's what had Sony on top for so long. If Xenon launches first, they'll be on top for a year. They need that more than Halo 02 sales. They made enough money on Halo 01. ;D[/color]

derek you're an idiot, I've played a demo of a game called Riddick on my XBOX, not my XBOX 2. Riddick's graphics are comparable to Halo 2 graphics. The Xbox can and will handle Halo 2.

u kno what i think.....i think u guys are gong to need some coffe and dounuts on this subject, holy crap so many idfferent point of views my head is spinnin in circles, (my head hurts, lmao inside joke, lol) anyways i think that its going to b on xbox no doubt cause microsoft is updating xbox live in a month....and again around the time halo 2 is suppose to come out...and i have a big feeling that the xbox 2 or whatever its gonna b called is gonna b compatible with xbox live for the 1st xbox....

it pretty much doesnt make much sense to come out with a brand new console soo soon, i mena its not that soon but its pretty early, and if realsed that early other developers will just copy and beat its features.....idk but im set on that halo 2 will b on xbox....
